I am super excited to share with you that we now have a Visual Studio MapControl Template! You may love it. It is super easy to use, start Visual Studio, click “File -> New Project”, on the left, click “Online”, and then top right, Search for “UWP Maps”, name your project and click OK!

Please continue sharing feedback around Map Platform APIs.

Thanks,

Apurva

Thanks for the article It really helped. I just changed the package name from ‘Demo’ to ‘demo’ (small ‘d’) and while pasting, the double quotes messed up so I corrected them. Thanks again for this.

Just wanted to add a few tips. First I’ve published the device providers library as a nuget here:https://www.nuget.org/packages/dotMorten.AllJoyn.DeviceProviders/

My website/product is still in a developer environment, so we can’t see the final layout and content.
An other issue is that i’m creating a market place, and one of the restrictions is not to be an e-commerce.
Can I join in the program with a market place startup?
Thank you.

Guilherme

Tue, 17 May 2016 10:13:17 +0000https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/cdndevs/2013/12/18/c-async-and-await-why-do-we-need-them/#comment-15745Thanks Andrei – surely with doing all that work – state machines, context switching etc – it can’t be as performant as code written by developers that know what they’re doing with ‘old style’ threading? I read elsewhere that async/await is ‘better’ because ‘expensive’ threads are spun up and torn down, but how does it compare with all the automagic work done out of sight?

Granted, dealing with UI blocking isn’t a scenario where cycles matter so much. In background service architectures though, it feels like I’m surrendering unknown volumes of CPU cycle to save me a little typing.
